Award of contract after further competition under CU2688 Local Bus Service DPS - Lot 2 Shared Taxi and Demand Responsive Service. Contract awarded for a period of 3 years with an option to extend by 12 months for further two years.

The service will integrate rather than compete with the commercial local bus network.Within scope are the possible adaptation of the service to hub and spoke or transfer based if patronage grows significantly. The entire borough of Milton Keynes, including rural areas and new developments that may begin during the contract period are within scope. Cross Boundary trips are not within scope.
